REPORTS:
PRESIDENT'S REPORT (Alan): He thanked Anu for publishing the newspaper. He discussed his past managerial style. He admits to being a micromanager. He felt he was far less one this time around especially when dealing with negotiations. One place that he admits to micromanaging in this term is in the area of grievances. He presented his and Bennett’s views to Wayne’s statement on union affiliation. He said he got a lot of thanks from CSEA for his support after the newsletter went out. He thinks that we should keep good relations with the other bargaining groups on campus. And we will probably need to raise dues in the future.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
1) TREASURER'S REPORT (Wayne): He still hasn’t heard back from the CPA about how much things are going to cost. He is going to go higher in the company to find out the info. Alan discussed that everything we do is legal and needs to be done in a lawful manner. We need to be cautious in keeping records. Wayne said that everything else was in order.
2) CEER PART-TIME REPRESENTATIVE (Michele): Not a whole lot going on.
They want to continue with the bullying forums. Also continue with the campus wide forums/speakers. Went over the sabbatical form matrix and submitted it to CEER. Rob said that the list of part-timers was updated and validated. He is looking into getting this

done annually instead of every 3 years. Also, may be putting the list out by divisions.
Anu asked if adjunct faculty get business cards. It was shared that they don’t. Then she asked about adjunct faculty printing their own cards. A discussion ensued. They don’t meet again until February.
3) NEWSPAPER (Anu): She will submit her invoice to Wayne. The cost came to around $350.00 because she printed 100 extra copies.
4) COLLEGE COUNCIL: No report
5) NEGOTIATIONS (Darren): No report (see below).
